Manchester venue The Talleyrand will host a Third Pier Theatre production of Jen McGregor’s Old Bones over three nights in February.

Old Bones is born out of a passion for local history and a fascination with the occult, touching on gambling, debauchery, magic, fantasy, repercussions and the lure of the underworld:

Meet James Napier, a drinker, gambler and lothario.  He is desperate to break free from the consequences of a bet gone horribly wrong.  Over four hundred years ago he made a mistake, which he has been trying to undo ever since.  Hear the stories of a gambler and adventurer on a quest to find anyone who can beat him in a game of change.
